that reminds me of something that happened to My Old 10V Ur Quattro i.e. 
I wish that 
removal of the oil filler cap stop the engine under all conditions as one 
day I was going 
up a steepish hill near where I live (High Wycombe In Fact) and I was 
giving the old 
Ur a bit of stick & probably showing of to a friend I had in the car, 
when We got to the 
top of the hill (After overtaking a couple of lesser cars) I was doing 
approx. 90MPH ish 
I decided to deccelerate for the imminent roundabout however when I had 
finished 
servicing it the previous day I had obviously failed to replace the oil 
filler cap properly 
which had now removed itself from the rocker cover and decided to place 
itself in the 
throttle mechanism, jamming the throttle in the fully on position !   . . 
Oh Dear what a 
feeling approaching a roundabout at 90 ish, . . . even a Quattro can't do 
that ! 
Luckily I just had enough time to turn off the ignition and stamp on the 
anchors !

	Anyway the moral of this story is (if there is one) is all you 10V Ur 
Quattro 
Owners out there check Your Oil Filler Cap is firmly fitted otherwise it 
could be more 
than a bit of Oil splattered on the front of You Quattro ! ! !
